Stress doesn’t cause Eczema but many suffers find that their symptoms get worse when they’re under severe pressure.

So when your Eczema begins to flare up try taking some time out for yourself and do things that you find relaxing.

The vast majority of eczema suffers should have no problem jumping in a pool.

Some people with severe Eczema however find that chlorine and salt water can irritate their skin further.

Always be sure to take a quick rinse and apply a moisturiser after swimming.

This one is also untrue. In most cases eczema flare ups won’t leave any permanent marks on the skin.

In fact, many people find that they can keep their eczema in remission with early detection and the right treatment.

According to Marie Therese Burke, Head trainer with Graham Anthony Distribution, topical emollients need to contain active ingredients to bring last relief to eczema, psoriasis or any atopy prone skin

Along with the break through anti-infammatory Chronoxine, the Xemose range is enriched with Cerasterol-2F technology to restore and reinforce the skin barrier and TLR2-Regul to regulate the immune barrier.

The range also contains Uriage Thermal Water from the French Alps. What makes Uriage Water so effective at treating skin conditions is that it is the richest form of thermal water.

It’s isotonic which means it can be used in the eyes and nose, is hydrating and soothing and has healing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Together these properties work to re-balance and protect the skin’s microbial barrier.

The Xemose range includes an anti-irritant Cerat, a lipid boosting cream, a gentle cleansing gel and cleansing soothing oil and a thermal water spray.
